The Largest Hamlet In New York, And The Houses Come With History
Brentwood is the biggest hamlet in the state, and most of it was built in one push: capes and ranches from the 1950s and 60s on quarter acre lots between Suffolk Avenue and the Sagtikos, hi-ranches north of the LIE toward the old Pilgrim State grounds, and the newer tracts that filled in around Crooked Hill Road and the Grant campus. Sixty years later those houses carry a finished basement apartment, a converted garage, a second kitchen, and three generations under one roof. The Town of Islip building department has never seen most of it.
That is exactly what stops a retail sale here. The buyer’s lender wants a certificate of occupancy for the apartment, the inspector finds the cesspool, and the deal dies at the six week mark. Prime Realty Buyers buys Brentwood houses as they are: the accessory apartment with no permit, the two family with a tenant who stopped paying, the inherited house on a court calendar in Riverhead, the zombie house the Town has been billing. We close in Suffolk County every month, and we can close on your Brentwood house in as little as 7 days.
Why Brentwood Homeowners Sell To Prime Realty Buyers
Brentwood houses do a lot of work. They hold more people, carry more additions, and sit on more paperwork than almost any other town in Suffolk. When it’s time to sell, all of that has to be dealt with, and a traditional listing is the hardest way to deal with it.
We make a direct cash offer without forcing you through repairs, permits, inspections, or agent commissions. Whatever the situation, we’ll tell you straight whether we’re the right fit.
We Buy Brentwood Houses As-Is
You don’t legalize the apartment. You don’t pump the cesspool. You don’t clean out the garage.

Why Choose Prime Realty Buyers
Prime Realty Buyers is a local Long Island buyer, not a call center. We close in Brentwood and across the Town of Islip every month, and the person who walks your house is the person who writes the offer. We explain the number line by line, including what we factored in for the apartment, the septic, or the tenant, and we put proof of funds in writing on request.
We work in English and Spanish, we work with your attorney, and we work on your date. If the estate needs three months, the house sits until the court is done. If the auction is in two weeks, we move.

Real Brentwood Seller Stories
We had a buyer for our house on Washington Avenue until his bank asked for the CO on the basement apartment. There wasn’t one. Two months wasted. Chris walked it once, said the apartment was his problem now, and Prime Realty Buyers closed in 21 days with the tenant still downstairs. Nobody from the Town ever came to the house.
My mother’s house in North Brentwood went to me and my three brothers. One is in San Miguel, one is in Houston, and none of us wanted to manage contractors from a distance. Prime Realty Buyers set up the signings so my brothers never flew in, bought the house with sixty years of furniture inside, and the estate closed in six weeks.
The cesspool at our cape off Crooked Hill Road collapsed in the driveway. The county said an I/A system, the contractor said five figures, and we didn’t have it. Chris priced the septic into his offer and told me exactly how. Prime Realty Buyers closed in 19 days and we walked away with our equity instead of a construction loan.
I was eleven months behind with a sale date on the courthouse steps. Every letter in the mail was worse than the last. Prime Realty Buyers got a payoff from the lender’s attorney, closed nine days before the auction, and I left with money in my pocket instead of a judgment against me. Chris called me back the same day I called him.
Sixteen years owning a two family on Fifth Avenue in Brentwood, and the last three were spent in Landlord Tenant court in Central Islip. The downstairs tenant hadn’t paid since 2021. Prime Realty Buyers bought it occupied, never asked her to leave for a showing, and closed in 30 days. That building was my whole retirement and it was becoming my whole life.

Frequently Asked Questions, Brentwood
The basement apartment in my Brentwood house was never permitted. Can you still buy it?
Yes. Unpermitted basement, garage, and second floor apartments are the single most common thing we see in Brentwood, and they stop a buyer’s lender cold. We pay cash, so there is no lender, and we deal with the Town of Islip on our side after closing. You don’t legalize it, remove it, or empty it.
Do you buy Brentwood houses with tenants who aren't paying?
Yes. Paying, non paying, holdover, or in the middle of a case at the Central Islip courthouse. We never ask you to remove a tenant before closing and we never ask the tenant to leave for a showing. We take on the tenancy at closing.
My cesspool failed. Do I have to install an I/A system before I sell?
Not to us. Most of Brentwood is not on the Southwest Sewer District, and the county now generally requires a failed system to be replaced with an innovative and alternative unit, which is a five figure job. We buy the house with the failed system, factor the replacement into our offer, and pull the county permit after closing.
Some of the heirs live in El Salvador. How does that work?
We set up remote notarized signings and a mail away closing so nobody has to fly in. We work with your estate attorney, we work in Spanish where that helps, and we’ve closed Brentwood estates with heirs on three continents.
The estate is still in probate at Surrogate's Court in Riverhead. Can you buy before I have Letters?
We can sign a contract with you now and close as soon as the court issues Letters Testamentary or Letters of Administration. If the house needs to sit until the court is done, it sits. No showings in the meantime.
I have a foreclosure auction date. How fast can you close?
As little as 7 days once title is clear. Call us the day you get the referee’s notice, not the week of the sale. We get a payoff from your lender’s attorney, close before the auction, and you keep whatever equity is left.
Do I need to clean out the house first?
No. Take the photos, the documents, and the family items. Leave the furniture, the appliances, and whatever is in the garage and the basement. We handle the cleanout after closing.
Are there commissions, fees, or closing costs?
None. Zero commissions, zero closing costs charged to you, zero hidden fees. The number we offer is the number you walk away with, less only what you owe on the house.
